[MR] Public use of the term "medieval"

[Lady Rhiannon of Berra]

Whether or not to put one's beliefs on a bumper sticker or t-shirt or sign
of whatever choosing is a personal decision outside of SCA context.  Whether
or not you choose to individually take on those out there who aren't like
you, is completely your decision, and may be your folly, but again, that is
your own individual choice.  It really has very little effect (affect?) on
the SCA or Atlantia as a whole.

If you're not willing to take the personal risk then don't put it on your
car or display it to the "public". Simple.
